Woman Quits Her Job in Banking to Become a Professional Sex Toy Tester
Source – A FORMER banker who quit her high-powered finance job to become a professional sex toy tester says she halved her salary but is now “having twice as much fun”.
British woman Cara Douglas now earns £30,000 ($53,310) a year working for Lovehoney. The sex toy company says she is one of its most popular testers, having reviewed more than 3000 products so far, according to news agency Cavendish Press.
“I have always loved sex toys so I am very lucky to have made a career out of what was my hobby,” Ms Douglas told Ladbible. “I hated being a banker and now I get paid for doing something I feel really passionate about. I am earning half what I was in banking but I am having twice as much fun.”
Ms Douglas said her husband Darren also got involved sometimes. “Obviously that is fun to do but you have to maintain your professionalism and work out what aspects of the product work well and what don’t,” she said.
Let this be a lesson for all of us. There is more ways to measure “success” than just with money. You can make all the money in the world handling other people’s finances. But coming home at the end of the day, if you’re not fulfilled, is it really worth it? Sure, there’s nothing wrong with money. But different people are motivated by different things. Some want to be rich, others want to be rich in spirit. To leave their mark on the world and make a difference in people’s lives. That’s why some people get into the arts, medicine, child care and sex toy testing.
If I’m Cara Douglas’s husband, I’m totally supporting her. Happy wife, happy life and all that. She could be just another banker paying the bills. Or live the dream of being the most popular tester at Lovehoney, advising women on which products got her off the best and actually touching their lives in a meaningful way. And in doing so, she’s making a vocation out of her avocation. And I say this as a guy who sits at home all day writing nonsense about sports, pop culture, sex scandals and sex toy testers with the occasional podcast. Which isn’t quite like lying around masturbating all day for money, but it’s not that far from it, either. And life has never been better.

So again, let Cara’s example be an inspiration for all of us to follow our dreams and find our true calling. Like they say, if you love what you do, you never have to work a day in your life. And like they also say, money can’t buy you happiness. but the Real Feel 9-inch Waterproof Vibrating Dildo with Suction Cup can. In assorted colors. So good for you Cara. It’s British banking’s loss, but it’s a big win for clitoral stimulation worldwide.
